Happy (day after) Thanksgiving! I was seriously behind on my Thanksgiving crafts this year. I meant to make a few things in the beginning of November, but didn’t have time to head out to Michael’s or JoAnne Fabric to get supplies. But, I was finally able to find some time last weekend to make the trip. In addition to getting some fall craft supplies, I was also able to stock up on some holiday supplies, which is always good. Although we are nosediving right into the holiday season, I still wanted to post this super cute fall wreath I made yesterday on Thanksgiving. There are still a few days left in “fall” (aka November!).

Directions:

1. Freehand or using a printed template, trace and cut out multiple leaves out of your fall foliage color felts. I ended up cutting out 4 of each color (20 total).

2. Using the hot glue gun, glue the yarn onto the styrofoam wreath. You’ll need to keep the yarn together, so I just looped the entire bundle through the wreath each time. I would also put a small line of hot glue on the top and underside of the wreath, and wrap the yarn around the wreath, attaching with the glue. This is a tedious process, but necessary so the yarn doesn’t slip around. When I arrived back at the beginning, I did another quick loop with the yarn around the styrofoam to make sure I didn’t have any of the styrofoam peaking through. The second go does not have to be as tight as the first.

3. Once your yarn is set, arrange your leaves how you’d like to them to be clustered.

4. Flip the cluster of leaves over (kind of like flipping a pancake) and glue the cluster together. You can do this by seeing which parts of the leaf overlap another and just glue that little part. Your cluster should basically be one entity when you pick it up.
